Annual Calendar Photo Contest
October 10, 2024
Weaver Library
41 Grove Ave, East Providence
Time to look through your phone and computer for photos you have taken of roses, rose gardens and rose events. All styles of photos are welcome including macros and abstracted. Six photo entries are allowed per membership. Remember that the 12 highest winners will be featured on the months of our calendar so horizontal photos are preferred but not required. The only limitation is that you cannot send one you have entered in RIRS before. You can however, use photos that have been entered elsewhere
The grand prize winner gets a free calendar, their photo featured on the month of their choice
and their photo on the home page of the RIRS for the year
The photos can be emailed as full size high resolution attachments to patsygc@gmail.com, or they can be easily uploaded to dropbox (see our Google listserv for link). All photos are due by October 9. Please name your files with rose name and your name/initials like Peace PC.jpg.
Everyone who enters will have photos in the calendar!
The photos will be presented in a Powerpoint. You need to be present at the meeting to vote. Please, no food this time
